The Wavelength Characteristics of Vertical Deformation and a Train Dynamics Simulation of Long-Span, Cable-Stayed Bridges Under Complex Loads by Zhiqiang Pang, Mangmang Gao, Guolong Li, Jingjing Yang, Fei Yang

“…During local loads, the vertical deformation below the 200 m wavelength constituted a significant proportion near the pie. Considering the influence of the deformation on the train vibration response, the train–bridge dynamic coupling model can be employed to treat the track structure as a load to reduce the complexity of the model and enhance the calculation efficiency.…”
